PRICKLY PEAR - THE PROVEN SUPER FOOD
Tumblr media
Prickly Pear is gaining a lot of hype among health supplements recently. We're seeing prickly pear infused products pop up everywhere, and for good reasons.
Some of you might have seen or recall the Disney version of The Jungle Book where Baloo the Bear sings about the bare necessities and he says, “now when you pick a pawpaw, or a prickly pear, and you prick a raw paw, well next time beware. Don’t pick the prickly pear by the paw, when you pick a pear try to use the claw.”
Baloo was teaching Mowgli that living off the land is easy because everything you need is already there; you just have to know how to look for it. Prickly pear is the perfect example of this.
Prickly Pears are like that ‘one long lost relative you know of but haven’t really been fully acquainted with, it’s always been available for many years but few attempted to experiment with this fruit. This thorny cactus fruit, has been long overlooked, until today it hasn’t been given the proper attention it truly deserves. These may appear dangerous and wilddue to the injurious spikes it carries but in fact, it is quite the opposite! It has unique composition of nutrients, including high levels of iron, vitamin C, B family vitamins, magnesium, potassium, calcium, copper, dietary fiber, and folate – and no that isn’t the full list! The benefits of fruit also offer us all eight of the essential amino acids that we don’t naturally produce. There aren’t a lot of foods that have such an amazing array of nutrients so these species are pretty unique.
The prickly pear comes from a cactus plant that grows best in areas receiving full sun. It is also known as nopal, tunas, Indian fig opuntia, devil’s tongue, findla [gujarati], and Naagphani[hindi].The fruits are oval in shape and their color can range from yellow and light green to orange, pink, and red, depending on their variety and ripeness. Although all cacti are technically native to the Americas, prickly pears and its fruits have spread across the world to Egypt, Morocco, Europe, and the Middle East. It has a sweet, succulent flavor akin to watermelon that mellows out with refrigeration.
There is a famous saying,‘food is medicine.’ Food works as a preventive medicine to keep us healthy. Our food habits are the main reasons behind many chronic diseases, and eating a healthier diet helps prevent and treat the most common debilitating conditions.
The native people in the southern parts of the US and in Mexico still consume prickly pear as a staple food and as medicine.
